#ground
You offer kindness Like a hand over my mouth And I am so sick of being Answered like this Worn raw by desperate pleas Ground dull against deaf stone There are only so many ways To pry loose your hand

Average is the common ground between high and low and so is an indication of what's above and also below. _____________________

Simple Observation 375 - Average is.....
Taking all your kisses And building up a mountain Dopamine sediments That shoot out like a fountain I'm counting up revisions Topographical shifts when It's your skin on my skin Tectonic tension Waves break on shores of gentle touches Finding pockets of hidden heat Fingertips blooming volcanic eruptions Pressure mounting underneath Holding tight To every groove Holding shape, motionless Until you move

Fault Line Friction
You learn to walk And you grow up And the ground is exactly where you expect it to be. But I’ve been dizzy for 4 weeks now And the ground is not there. My world spins Even as I write. I sit and my heart is sore. I want to rip out my stitches But nothing ever broke; So I pretend I’m not dizzy And that the ground is still there And that maybe it’s just the waves. My hands are always shaking From the lightning in my bones, And my hands shake -and my world spins -and it’s all just maybe the waves -and I’ve been dizzy for 4 weeks now And the ground is not there.

And The Ground Is Not There
Relationships no longer a partner ship full of bull **** testing your patience. Just a friendship with benefits. Better yet a situationship which later ends as final destination ***** killing people you ain't happy with. Im tired of the controlling and impatient **** Used and abused never thought you had to choose. Always thought Id be a tool listen here boy im no fool. Mistreated and neglected, rejected lack of affection **** this weak *** connection. Clocking me no stopping me, you wish that you could rock with me. You no longer hold the key to my heart boy let me be. Not a possession in your collection, you sick with this obsession. In need of correction no sense of direction. Take heed to the lesson count your blessings im not stressing nor caressing your egotistic mindset of Oppression. Your not sending me into depression. Nor a counseling session. Who you testing? My grace and my patience you been erased and, bye boy stop haten. Step back not waiting on the road to creating while my mindset elevating. No satisfaction you're hlacking, judging people by there actions. your no longer a distraction but a dissatisfaction in action. No more will there be any settle words nor transactions you will never get another reaction. The love that I shown the care that I gave went unnoticed as you tried to cage my heart and steal my joy. rewrite my destiny all while making others think you were a blessing to me but you never opened up your eyes to see that one day I would be free. Chains broken, eyes clearer now I see it could never be. its time you face that child hood trauma holding you not me in a world of uncertainty. 9/07/2025

the ground feels like a secret pressed against skin that forgets its weight a hush rises from somewhere beneath as if the earth is breathing through me and I am caught between falling inward and lifting into something unnamed

Come down, put your feet on the ground It's okay to soar a little If you come back and stay around We used to walk down ***** roads One family going to that stone Let's look out on those fields so far Dad's found someone new to love him It's hard for you to trust in him He just wants to keep moving on He said we've only got one life Nobody gets to take their time Dad that's such a terrible life. There is so many things to say I hope you get to be okay It's not today but just one day When you sit with your cats held close And maybe it will dawn on you Despite it all, forgive yourself It's okay we all need some help To get along with mental health We clean the kitchen together Come down, put your feet on the ground It's okay to soar a little If you come back and stay around

So they march us down the street keeping time to a broken beat And the morals that we worship will be gone Spite the blisters on our feet, we will all make a mass retreat to a world where what we need will carry on It’s spiraling out of hand, and we’re polling the crowd again Nobody told me us life was not free So I say to me “Put up those halfway houses and pray the storm recedes.” We act so vicious out of greed As if there’s a victory among us, none such So we’re taking our friends and we’re puttin’ ‘em out like there ain’t no love to go around Pulling no punches, only teeth Then we’re taking the ends and we’re finding it out It pulls you up to push them down And this is not where I wanna be, either, picky eater Now I think we’ve lost the plot, so we make ourselves a new lot by putting two of our friends inside a room We’ll be popping our candy corn in a protest anti-porn while strapping ourselves inside the viewing booth And staying so clean Taking our Adderall, and going for the guttural Laying all our incensers next to us They’re blaming us for the mess so we’ve gotta totally digress and turn against the only ones we trust Next time I feel mean I’ll try openly Cut out my heart and tape it on my sleeve Can we have their shame redeemed for a handful of thee in tickets (quit this) I’ve got a certain feeling you’ll be beat around it when the bush is in bloom Again, I’ve got a secret 7th sense about it…you’ll dance like a foot if I shoot Though - my mind is resolute: I don’t play with my food. So we’re taking our friends and we’re puttin’ ‘em out like there ain’t no love to go around Pulling no punches, only teeth Then we’re taking the ends and we’re finding it out It pulls you up to push them down and this is not where I want to be, either, picky eater

For a moment I thought it was a butterfly, the yellow and orange leaf that took flight from the swishing poplar tree across my balcony. It swayed and fluttered in excitement – here and there, up and down, undecided if right or left, to the ground or up to the sky – Should I stay or should I go? What to make of perceived options when you lose your wings to know that gravity always wins? And ultimately to the ground with or without wings.

With my head rested against the shoulder that sits between each breath between each little heart beat With my head rested against the wind that flows between the inhales and exhales of this little life

Where I find myself when I can no longer feel the ground
I used to fall for brown eyes Searching for the secrets they hide The brown color holds stiff cold lies They are dark and deep, making you search even deeper But now I have realized Realized that blue eyes are deep too Deep like the big ocean,blue I have realized that I can fall for blue eyes hue Brown eyes made me want to embrace the ground But in your blue eyes,all I want is to drown

The mountain calls to me, demands my presence, I meet its gaze. Me: What do you want from me? Mountain: I want you to climb to the peak Me: I can’t bring anyone else with me Mountain: I do not ask of you to bring anyone else, in fact, you should leave them behind, now climb me Me: No, I can’t just do that Mountain: Whether you listen to them or listen to me, makes no difference but I know you, and you want to climb, with no safe pathway down, no net to hold you, you want to see from this height and this height alone Me: What if I want off? Mountain: Then jump, but know the ground awaits you, you are never free I stand in its shadow.

Threaded dread, Pattern cognition, same stories twisting across worth value balance means and ways whereby we reach across walls, into the conversation confused with seeking reliable religamentation, tie me kangaroo down, mate, tie me didgeridoo, too, there's a hard rain, it's gonna fall, we all told a lie, too long. Hi, I'm the voice of Johnny Gravel, calling all you adrenalyn junkies, come, believe your eyes, as we watch death defying stunts, too incredible to imagine, until it's real, TONIGHT AT YOUR VERY OWN TERMINAL location. At wait state, imagining fame, or blame and shame, game wide, the whole world sees the spelling wrong, and life ends in another needless tragedy, we see them everyday, we must imagine, some day, that's something I can do something about, before it is too late, jest in place, laugh it off, halfasstry, whine as the wind rips off the tin roof, why we never moved, we cannot say, things just happened this away.

Going on a rock tour I'll leave you with the beats in the ground. Still, I will play for the crowd Like I know what I am doing. On return Will I be home Or was no one listening? Cowering in corners On lead guitar And solo drums

haiku 21/2/16a
I am a plant. I am a thistle. Cirsium arvense. Creeping thistle. When you first see me I am a beautiful, colourful flower. But if you come closer, you will notice two things. 1. I can ***** you. My needles are few and nearly invisible, but very sharp. 2. I am not ONE flower. I am a cluster of a hundred tiny flowers. I am possibility. My opportunities were not the best when I was a seedling. The ground was dry and the sun burning. However, as the forest around me, the sunlight that hit me directly lessened. The rain made the ground more fertile. The ground is still too dry. I need more moisture to live. It is difficult to see the sun at all through the dense trees. I wish I could at least see a little bit of the sun. I am a plant. I am a thistle.

I have to do some research about home wiring, but I believe the ground wire and the lightning rod would let you pull electricity out of the air, just as Mr Franklin discovered. If this is true, then you are being "charged"(pun intended) for what is free, and when the electric company cuts off your service, you can just disconnect their cables and have what was once called "white power" ...no pun intended. If I die any time soon, check with the electric company haha. We are stuck on stupid.
